chapter=5 Engaged to him?(edited)

Yumna:
My one and only best uncle from our family, who was always there to support us, was standing in front of me and I could not believe how little he had changed. He still had his black hair and beard, and his amazing smile.

Do you intend to greet us or are you just going to stare at us?He asked while blocking someone who was behind him, and then he took their luggage, which I assisted him in carrying.

"Oh sorry, Assalamualeikum and your most welcome I will tell maid to keep your luggage inside,"I told him while greeting my aunt who just gave me a surprise hug.

"Waleikumsalam, dear, we just heard the good news and could not resist, so we took the first flight we could get and came," he said, taking a seat on the coach and flipping through pages of the newspaper.

Uncle and newspapers: he is still the same, always checking out business news, even when he is on vacation.

*****
You must be wondering who this uncle is well he is my dad's brother and Alhamdulillah we all were like one family, ups and downs were there but we always solved them till the time my uncle decided to shift with my aunt from London to America and he started his business there as well.

" I called you thrice, where were you lost dear?"He asked while taking sip of water.

"No where just was remembering some memories," I told him with a smile on my face.

"Now we will make many more memories with our reunion since we have lots of work to do in a day,"My auty finally spoke and I hope she has changed abit from her old habits.

"Yeah I have invited my friends and some neighbours and Imran has invited some business partners," I told them while showing them list and we started adding more people and deciding venue.

"I am so proud of you and Imran, but now you can relax while we finish the rest of the work."
********
I was just lying on bed sleep was far way because of some thoughts and I remembered today's events how
Imran came and he was so surprised to see them that he had tears of happiness such closeness we had Alhamdulillah, we ate discussed and then aunty explained to me some girly stuff and she was teasing me I just missed my parents on my one of special days and I just made silent dua for them.

Allah never burdens a soul with problems which he can't handle them.

********engagement day****

"Hurry up Halima, even in America you delay now infront of your kids here in London you delay, half n hour to get ready," Ya Allah these ladies we heard Uncle telling Imran and Imran complained same about me.

"Because It's girls thing and we get ready for you only,"Aunt also gave them back an answer which immediately shut their mouth and they just said they waiting near car.

"MashaaAllah my beautiful daughter has grown up," Aunt said and hugged me while uncle praised and Imran just smiled and hugged me we din't even realize they had not gone but standing there.

"You'r parents if they were here they would have been proud of you and we all made dua."

We all sat in one big car to reach on time, we drove off in comfortable silence wherewas again lost in my thoughts.

How strange but true it is we pray for someone and the person prays for someone at the same time and little did we know Allah has planned everything, every couple, It's just about having faith.
I don't like the centre of attraction I always had low self-esteem but still, my parents and brother always said I am more than what I think of myself and I can't wait to meet my best friend but today I did put makeup and dressed up when I saw myself in the mirror just couldn't believe and prayed on myself.

"Hey, we have arrived," Imran said, turning his head behind me and smiling reassuringly that everything would be fine.
***
We entered a massive mansion. I knew they were wealthy, but they were so wealthy that I do not know how to describe it. All I can say is MashaaAllah.
As we entered their mansion, I lowered my gaze. I could not look at anyone because there were so many pairs of eyes staring at me.

"Ahem ahem beautiful MashaaAllah, Ahad will not be able to look away from someone today," she remarked. I realized at that moment that she was making fun of me on my engagement day and making me blush even more.

She greeted aunty and everyone, and I was quickly led to a seat in front of everyone. After a while, congratulations were exchanged while everyone hugged each other and ate snacks, talked while laughing, and all the while I looked down and glanced at my friends because the gents were on their side.

Alhamdulillah, a simple yes can unite so many people and households.

As the guests parted ways after getting back together, I sensed someone was standing next to me.

"Now, slide the ring onto her finger," Imran teased Ahad.

It was not until I looked up and saw him staring at me and hushed, "can I," that I realized what he was waiting for.

I smiled and nodded, and then he slipped a pure silver ring on my hand. Ya Allah, did this guy have to ask me in front of everyone?Whenever we meet, he always surprises me, and now, thank God, I am engaged to him. I know that some people around here are just waiting for the opportunity to make fun of us.

We quickly left for our home at 9:00 p.m. after they made us eat dinner, which we did because we were all very exhausted.
*******
I hope HE does not change because she did not realize there would be a lot more exams in the future.
